    Hey there. Dave Pomeroy here... I respectfully request that commenters remember that music is not a competition. All of us who performed that day had lots of love and respect for one another. Our differences make us unique. That is all...

    Left to right, it's Dave Pomeroy(me) Billy Sheehan, John Pattitucci, Otiel Burbridge, Reggie Washington and Tony Levin. It was a blast...I am always a little surprised that so many comments want to pick one guy over another. I can tell you that NONE of us were thinking that way, just diggin' each other. Peace to all, DP

    Hey there all. Dave Pomeroy here, "the guy with the fretless bass". It's certainly been interesting reading all the comments. Just thought I'd mention that onstage that night, there was no sense of competition or one-up-manship. It was all about shared experience and the beauty in all the different styles and interpretations of "the blues". Music isn't meant to be a contest, and I bet that all the players that night would agree. Glad I was there, what a cool day.
    Peace, Love and Grooves,

    I met Sheehan when I was much younger at a Mr. Big concert. You guys dont understand how awesome and full of life he is. I've yet to meet another human who shines as brightly as he did. Never-mind his incredible bass playing... He and i talked for hours. I met him as a fan of his bass playing, but went away a bigger fan of him, his philosophy and perspective on life. This man pulled me out of darkness!

    @EarwaveMusic  9 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    Guys and girls, for the zillionth time I will state the obvious - this was not a CONTEST, it was a COLLABORATION! Mutual Respect was the order of the day ALL AROUND and these "who is better than who" debates serve no purpose other than to distract from the music and the good vibes we had on that day. Give it a rest, please... :)

    • @EarwaveMusic
      @EarwaveMusic  9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +E Austin, I hear you. I guess it depends on who you play with/work with. I believe in collaboration, and try to inspire the other players around me, without making anyone feel intimidated. If that's "fake brotherhood bs," then I am guilty. In my opinion, MOST bass players are not competitive with one other, especially compared with guitarists, drummers, and horn players, who seem to revel in the "I'm better than you and you" thing. I'm just sayin'. Have a good day...

    • @fordhammie
      @fordhammie 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I get it boss... Our society must get away from what's better and better and yet better. I was describing two different basses today and my friend asked, which is better? None are better than the other, just different! :)

  • @TheOwenValentine
    @TheOwenValentine 16 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    What I enjoyed most about the whole thing was that everyone expressed their musical reaction...It would have been boring for Sheehan to follow up the 500 notes already expressed with 500 more..so he went to colors and dynamics.beautiful!I wish more people got it that you are not supposed to compete but embellish.

    This wasnt a competition, it was a showcase of varied styles. A good musician knows when he should listen and when he should play, thats why they kick back and play minimally while waiting their turn to solo. As a bass player, I appreciate the drummer most. ;^)

  • @base656
    @base656 11 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    As phenomenal as all of the session/jazz/jazz-fusion guys are here, Billy's solo was much more original in this context. Like I said, as good as the rest of the players are, all of their solos are just that, "good" or "really smooth", and then Sheehan comes along and takes your head off by waking it up.

  • @stiktrik

    @EarwaveMusic I am a bass player myself and I love all of the guys here. I have looked up to each in some manner, incredible musicians. I think people choose sides is because most listen to a certain type of music so they lean that way. I grew up listening to country and gospel, then branched out into jazz then into rock. I love them all and they all have their place in the world and in our hearts as far as I am concerned., please do this again so I can be there to see you all play.

  • @RicardoZarateOnBass
    @RicardoZarateOnBass 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Todos son unos maestros, cada uno maneja el Jazz excelente pero el mérito de Billy Sheehan aquí es que teniendo otro estilo y otros recursos muy diferentes al de los demás haya podido llegar a resolver y crear una improvisación muy buena, definitivamente para nada jazz pero dentro de su estilo transmite mucho al igual que los otros, la gente lo siente y por eso le aplauden más que a los demás. Excelente Billy Sheehan!!!

    Billy Sheehan is just being Billy Sheehan. He admitted he doesn't know what these jazz players know but he learns from them. But what made this special is that same fact. These jazz guys were all playing within a certain perimeter. Billy wasn't, he was just straight up jamming and having fun. That is why he kicked ass and got the most applause. The closest was one of my heroes John Pattitucci.

    Billy Sheehan is a hard rock player in a jazz tune doing what he does best. Billy rocked it and Dave Pomeroy was smooth as silk on the fretless by far the two i enjoyed most that day and they sounded like they were saying something on the bass instead of just noodling.

    this whole thing goes to prove that it's not about notes per second, but personality, tone, and feel. Although I feel that Oteil Burbridge is the best bass player here (listen to "In a perfect world" by ARU), Sheehan (although he's a rock bassist) totally took top honors with a tasteful, unique solo and got the audience's stamp of approval. I dug it too...

  • @mrbassnj

    about 130 bpm slower than original, but grooves like heck. Go Sheehan! Lover of all musics (prog, jazz, blues, classical, metal, classic rock, funk) here and Billy is by far the most interesting and dynamic/entertaining/serving bassist. This IS about solos, so all who insult Billy pretty much are just jealous of his technical skill and flair.
